  1. F. Bašić: • UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB – FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE • POSSIBILITIES FOR CO-OPERATION IN SOIL PROTECTION POLICIES OF SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE

  2. UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB (since 1669.) • FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE (since1919.) • www.agr.hr • Department of General Agronomy • E-mail: basic@agr.hr • Research and education in fields of Agroecology: • Land management • Farming systems • Soil protection

  3. In the middle of last century: • 1950. The world population was 2,5 billion!

  4. John Deere exibition hall 26. of June 2000. year!

  5. 25. of February2006. • 6,5 billion!

  6. EVERY DAY CONSUMPTION • ANIMAL • 604.000 tons of meet – one million of cows! • 104 million of chickens • 3 million of pigs • 1,4 million of sheep

  7. But if everybody on the Globe get the same quantity it would be .., • Less than two mouthful of meet!!! ???

  8. PLANT PRODUCTS • 1 600 000 tons of meal, • 1 700 000 tons of maize • 1 500 000 tons of the rice • 675 000 tons of potato • 246 000 tons of tomato • 132 000 tons of cabage • 156 000 tons of bean and lens • 110 000 tons of onion

  9. 180 000 t of oranges • 160 000 t of banana • 157 000 t of grape • 153 000 t of apples • 130 000 t of melones • 131 000 t ofcocoa

  10. 2 billions of egs - omelette as big as the mass of Cyprus !!! • 3000 t of honey – enough for a peace of bread as big as area ofLondon!!!

  11. Because of 95% of this food is directly related with soil unavoidable consequence: • High, with tendency to be higher • PRESS ON ALL NATURAL RESOURCES USED IN FOOD PRODUCTION • INCLUDING SOIL!

  12. WARNINGS !!!

  13. The first is not comming from academic cyrcle: • R. Carlson – „Silent spring“ – 1962. year • (Population cca 3 bill.) • Farmers reacher – springs silent!

  14. Gro Harlem Bruntland 1987. year the first use of term • SUSTAINABLE development • Today the most used word!

  15. 1997. - 125. years of BOKU published the book of indicative title • Quo Vadis Agricultura?

  16. 1998. Royal Society i CAB International: • LAND RESOURCES: • ON THE EDGE OF MALTHUSIAN PRECIPICE?

  17. ”The bell which today rings for people starving of hunger tomorrow will ring for humankind if we will not, dont know, or cant to find a solution for world hunger”.

  18. S(ave) O(ur) S(oils) to S(ustain) O(ur) S(ocieties)!!! Spasimo tla za opstanak društva !

  19. IN SEEC • P A S T . . .

  20. Research in Soil science has a long tadition in this part of Europe, especially in former Yugoslavia,

  21. After World war II – Yugoslav society of soil scince(JDPZ) – in Belgrade, with sections in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia.

  22. From 1876. – all republics (today states) have the own society organized in • UNION OF YUGOSLAVIAN SOCIETIES OF SOIL SCIENCE

  23. FIRST CONGRES OF YUSSS Portorož – Slovenia 1955. Next seven congresses every 5 years. The last – VIII. in Budva 1990. Prof. Resulović – Bosnia and Herzegovina – present on all congesses!!!

  24. From 1992. each state established the own Society of soil science. • We in Croatia • CROATIAN SOCIETY OF SOIL SCIENCE

  25. X. CONGRESS OF CROATIAN SOCIETY OF SOIL SCIENCE Sibenik, June 14-17. 2006.

  26. The most important joint project during Yugoslav period was a project which started as • BASIC SOIL MAP OF YUGOSLAVIA (BSM-YU) • SCALE 1 : 50 000 • but finished as BASIC SOIL MAPS OF EACH STATE

  27. BASIC-SEMIDETAILED SOIL MAP OF CROATIA, 1: 50 000 Outline of 186semi-detailed maps, Start 1964., finish at 1986. year Printed maps In manuscript

  28. All maps as separate sections were printed in Military-geographical institute in Belgrade. • (Vojislava Kovačevića – today???)

  29. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL FACULTY INSTITUTE FOR AGRICULTURE AND TOURISAM INSTITUTE FOR SOIL FACULTY OF FORESTRY FORESTRY INSTITUTE FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE Croatian Geological Survey Institute “Ruđer Bošković” Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health INSTITUTE FOR ADRIATIC CROPS AND KARST AMELIORATION Institute for Public Health

  30. APPLIED PEDOLOGICAL MAPS SMALL-SCALE IN GIS

  31. SOIL SUITABILITY MAP FOR CULTIVATION 1: 300 000, Bogunović et al ,1996 LEGEND Suitability classes Good Moderate Limited Temporarily not suitable Permanently not suitable Water area Settlements

  32. SOIL SUITABILITY MAP FOR IRRIGATION 1: 600 000 Romić D.,et.al, Suitability classes Very high High Moderate Low Very low National master plan for irrigation, land and water management in Croatia,

  33. One of most active session of YUSSS (JDPZ) was “The session for soil protection”. • First and long-term president Prof. H. Resulović - pioneer of research in soil degradation, damages and recultivation, classification of theese soils… • In Serbia – G. Antonović - Giga. • In Slovenia – A. Stritar - Bine

  34. Prof. H. Resulović organizator of three Yugoslav conferences on soil protection: • Tuzla – Bosnia and Herzegovina • Lipice (Slovenia) • Varaždin – Croatia

  35. WHERE WE ARE TODAY?

  36. The war breaked all contacts with institute, and all contacts of Yugoslav soil scientists. • After the war first contacts individual, mostly on international conferences – neutral countries.

  37. So… this meeting is the first one with soil scientiest round the same table! • And; • BEGINING A NEW PERIOD IN CO-OPERATION!

  38. We are living on the same teritory, responsible for research and practical use of knowledges connected with soil degradation and consequences of this process on the life quality…

  39. Our countries are “EU-oriented”! • From 1. of January 2007. Romania and Bulgaria are becomming member state, Croatia is on the thhreshold…. • We are expecting to participate in CAP and all activities of EU.

  40. Just last week – 22. of September 2006. European Comission proposed a strategy for soil protection in Europe, ( of course: prepared by ESBN). • Within or out of EU this strategy is very important for economy and quality of life.

  41. Starting point is that (citation): • Good quality of of soil is essential to our economic activities as soil provides us with food, drinking water, biomass and row materials… • All human activities are somehow related to soil.

  42. To reverse this trend, the Commission’s strategy sets a common EU framework for action to preserve, protect and restore soil, but • leaves Member States flexibility to implement it in a way which fits LOCAL situations best.

  43. Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said: • “Soil is a prime example of the need to think global and act local”.

  44. An estimated 115 million hectares or 12% of Europe’s total land area are subject to water erosion, and a further 42 million hectares by wind erosion.

  45. Approximately 3.5 million sites within the EU could be contaminated. • About 45% of European soils have low organic • matter content, principally in southern Europe.

  46. Soil protection is not only a national concern as soil contamination in one Member State can have transboundary effects and cause pollution on neighbouring states.

  47. It requires Member States to adopt a systematic approach to identifying and combating soil degradation, tackling precautionary measures and integrating soils protection into other policies.

  48. Full details of the Strategy are available at • http://ec.europa.eu/environment/soil/index.htm

  49. A video news release on the Strategy is available to television stations and networks; • it can be viewed and ordered at http://www.tvlink.org
